The Kennesaw State Owls football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Kennesaw State Owls football program in various categories,[ 1] including passing , rushing , receiving , total offense , defensive stats, and kicking . Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Owls represent Kennesaw State University in the NCAA 's Conference USA .
Kennesaw State began competing in intercollegiate football in 2015,[ 1] so the typical issues with school records do not exist. There is no period of the late 19th and early 20th century with spotty, incomplete records. Therefore, Owls' records are also not affected by the lengthening of the season to 12 games over the years, the 1972 NCAA decision to allow freshmen to play varsity football, or the 2002 NCAA decision[ 2] to count bowl games in players' official statistics.
These lists are updated through the end of the 2023 season .
